So is gambling debt one way or other possible without the person taking loan or borrowing money?
Just gamble with your own money and not with debt money. You'll be buried more with stress and problem when you lose that money. You take responsibility for paying the interest and you have lost that money. So that's double pain that you need to deal with.

That will be Double Kill Zero, lending to gambling with interest and when gambling loses it will only leave debts to be paid along with high interest. it will be a very complicated problem and will stress anyone out.
Do gambling like gambling that provides entertainment, not gambling that requires earning? So far I have been doing some gambling just for entertainment and I have allocated a limit on the money used for gambling. So no more than the allocation fund. Gambling provides entertainment, not new problems.

It is a good decision to join Real Madrid, Real Madrid needs a younger right-back to be the successor of Daniel Carvajal. If Achraf Hakimi returns to Real Madrid, Real Madrid will have a top right-back that can play for more than 5 years. They won't rely on Daniel Carvajal anymore, and their defense should be stronger. But this doesn't mean to fix the main problem of Real Madrid, Real Madrid main problem is in the striker, Not in the defense line.

The main problem regarding the Real Madrid striker will be a serious spotlight because Karim Benzema has to be replaced with a reliable young striker. at an age that is no longer young, namely 35 years, of course Karim Benzema's performance has decreased, moreover he is also often injured in several important matches.
There are several names of young strikers whose names have appeared and are rumored to be substituted for Benzema.

These names include:
1. Goncalo Ramos, who is a player from La Liga and has joined the Benfica academy since 2013 and has officially signed a first-team contract since 2020.
2. Alvaro Rodriguez a potential young player from Los Blancos who appeared in 4 La Liga matches with Los Merengues as a substitute. He has good stamina because he is so young.
3. Kylian Mbappe must be famous enough for being a French star player and holding the Qatar world cup trophy. he has now extended the contract with PSG and is doing well at PSG, but it is not impossible could have moved to Real madrid.

I usually look for coins with a low to moderately low supply. I don’t often buy coins with multiple billion supply. Although saying that, I have bought $PEPE, SHIB & DOGE.

Very often I am too late to the party. It’s good to get coins before they get listed on major exchanges. It’s often a bit of a lottery, a shitcoin roulette but if you invest small amounts in multiple coins you can do well.

You may be a fan of memecoin, even though memecoin can provide more benefits than other coins. But the risk will also be greater.
if you are late for the party of course you will not chase it, you just have to wait if that's possible. Most memecoins nowadays will end up being a scam. After $PEPE's success, many new memecoins emerged from all Blockchain Platforms and in the end they disappeared one by one and deceived many people. Doing detailed research is very necessary, not just waiting to be registered with CEX. Fraudsters will not do that, if their bag is full they will run away without a trace.

$ 5 in my opinion is still standard and not too expensive. If some online casinos experience increased transaction fees it is because of the crowded Bitcoin Network, but that only applies to casinos that use crypto networks.
If you want a withdrawal fee of $1 or less, I don't know what gambling platform can do that. But try to check online gambling platforms that integrate the Bitcoin Lightning Network. that might be an alternative because the lightning network uses a cheaper and faster fee.

Any addiction will eventually drive a person into a corner from which it may seem impossible to escape, this is why there are some people that take the most irreversible decision that a human being can take, which is to end their own lives, however there is always a solution to the problems people have created for themselves due to their gambling addiction, it is just there is no way to solve them quickly, as those which are addicted spend years or even decades in that condition and they cannot hope that everything is going to fix itself overnight.
Addiction is a very dangerous act that can destroy ones life as I can testify to this because it nearly destroyed my own life , I started gambling at a very tender age and it sinked into my blood when I was in secondary school and even during my stay in the tertiary institution. I often gamble away my school fees and it was like a poison that was rapidly running in my veins until this habit was getting out of hand and I had to take a very difficult decision which involved me disconnecting myself with every thing that has to do with gambling and I didn't do this on my own as I was aided with multiple counselling sessions and all this was what contributed to my successful retreat from this dangerous act although some times I do predict but now its different as I do it only for fun and no strings attached.

It is a real experience that can be a reminder to yourself how dangerous it is when gambling makes someone addicted. In fact, you start gambling at a fairly young age and are still in school. But when you've gone through all of that, of course you already have guidelines on how not to become an addict, you start to learn to manage your emotions, not to make gambling your main income, but only as entertainment. Control your emotions and not focus too much on gambling alone will give you control over yourself
606  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin IS an asset. Do you think it's bad? on: May 15, 2023, 09:12:59 PM
Through the technology behind bitcoin it have got multiple usage. Satoshi had a vision and he worked on it. With time the usage varied between people. Bitcoin that have been used as a transaction source gained importance as an investment through the growth it attained in very short time period. Because of its pseudonym feature it got its usage on illegal needs in large number during the starting days. This even gave negative opinion over bitcoin among the common people.

Whether it is an asset or something else is secondary. How effective it has been getting used aroud matters. If you consider it an asset, then it behaves accordingly. It is upon the way we use it. For now it is much commonly used as asset, investment, transaction source, currency, etc.

Currently, in general, it is widely used as a commodity investment asset and is a speculative coin that is widely played by whales. for use as an alternative currency or payment is still not very popular due to regulatory issues. Whatever you want bitcoin to be decentralized, it can't be completely regulated by anyone. Bitcoin remains Bitcoin and will not be like Fiat which is only regulated by the government. Bitcoin keeps growing with the support of the community and because of its limited supply it makes Bitcoin even more scarce

That's why I said it was a mistake if someone committed suicide because of his problem. They have to be able to get up and not give up and try to finish well and realize that it was a mistake they had made.

I have felt that pain, but I can still think that committing suicide is a wrong action and should be avoided. In addition, suicide is also prohibited in any religion. But some people cannot survive and get up after experiencing bankruptcy in gambling and eventually die of recurrent heart disease.

Indeed it is a mistake to take owns life, but coward people wanted the easy way out without thinking the people they left behind will be the one to suffer.  Not only coward but also inconsiderate and selfish.
They only think of using a shortcut to end everything. They lost even when they became addicted to gambling before finally taking their own lives, thinking that was the best they could do without ever thinking there was anything they could do. If they think long and hard about trying to change everything they do, it looks like there is still a way, but of course, it requires the support of everyone around them. Without the support of the people around them, they are alone and without any strength to get up and realize their mistakes.
Not because of cowardice or just want to take a shortcut to end his life so that their debt is paid off.
There are so many people in my city who are addicted to gambling that almost kill themselves or commit suicide because sometimes when emotions run high mixed with disappointment, it will definitely take away their common sense which results in a gambling addict committing suicide.
What I'm still thinking about is why it's so easy for people to commit suicide while having a family that is ready to support them.

It does seem crazy, to end your life because of gambling. If you are already addicted to gambling it has become a dangerous tendency. not doing gambling for a second will bother them. there are many bad effects of gambling addiction, but the most fatal impact is when you decide to commit suicide because you don't have the money to do gambling. this has become an acute addiction. It takes a lot of support from the closest people so that the addiction that is already heavy does not lead to ending life or action.
608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: People with quick rich attitude always mess up with alt coins on: May 15, 2023, 08:36:04 AM
It is unfortunate that majority of new investors in crypto have to learn from their own mistakes or experience. I do not blame them entirely for this as crypto  is still a new concept. However, true signs of wisdom are when a person learns from the mistakes of others. This will increase his chances of success in new ventures also.

Learning from their own mistakes is also necessary, meaning that if something goes wrong in trading they also have experience so they know what to do if faced with the same problem. However, a pretty good shortcut is to learn from other people's mistakes, research what went wrong and apply it so you don't fall into the same mistakes as other people.


Quote
There is so much information available online related to crypto. So far as getting scammed with alt coins is concerned, the patterns are always same. So if someone gives attention, he can find out such scam from beginning without the need to invest in it.

It requires more skills to research each investment project that will be involved. a lot of information is available on various social media and can be learned easily. The scammer's pattern is the same, but remember that the scammer's methods also evolve over time.

ETH, MATIC are pretty good in my opinion, but I don't know about some of the other coins you mentioned. But why don't you include BNB in ​​the list, when BNB is a potential altcoin after ETH. I understand why you didn't choose BTC, but why not give some allocations as well because mid-2025 is quite a long time from now. The Bitcoin halving will occur in 2024, now is a good opportunity to start buying Bitcoins even if your only choice is altcoins. But think about it.

CONGRATULATIONS BARCELONA,  Champions Laliga 2022/23 season

I followed the Barcelona vs Espanyol match from the beginning to the ending and the Barcelona guys played excellently well.
I congratulate Xavi for turning Barcelona back to an elite club. They were already sinking and clouded in depth when the Nou camp legend accepted the job. Today, I owe him a very big congratulations for winning the title while there are about 4 matches to end the season.

Xavi Hernandez deserves it follows the steps of Guardiola as they won trophies in the second season congratulations to them
If they are thinking of rebuilding then they shouldn't think of the reunion with Lionel Messi
Messi has served the club it is time they let other creative players do the work for the club.
Happy they return to the Champions League football next season

Xavi Hernandez certainly deserves the praise that he is now on par with Pep Guardiola because his current leadership managed to bring Barcelona to win the Spanish La-Liga this season and this is the 27th time.
This title is also the first for Barcelona since the last time in 2018/2019 under Ernesto Valverde. Xavi led Barcelona to end three seasons without a title.
regarding the reunion with Lionel Messi does not seem necessary, there are still many potential players who will be strong in Barcelona. Robert Lewandowski, Alejandro Balde, Pedri and Gavi are potential young players who will shine in Barcelona.

I indicated before that Sevilla were underestimated by bookmakers when we checked the odds of the match. I wasn't expecting them to give up easy and one of my score predictions was 1-1 which really happened. Sevilla were nearly getting a win there if it weren't for that last minute header by Gatti. He was like a savior for his team maybe but I don't see any team saved still.

Because Juventus were really bad in the first half and the second half wasn't very good either. They wasted so many chances at the same time. Sevilla would surely like to control the game in Spain to finish the job. I think they will do a pretty good job about that.
Good to see you here and believing in Sevilla, but the odds turned out to be right after all, because it was 5x for Sevilla and 2.5x for a draw, and the draw actually happened.

I have a terrible experience with Sevilla and Valencia in La Liga, I managed to cut my losings with Valencia but somehow I am tricked by Sevilla again and again Sad

Juventus better not progress, they totally don't deserve it at all the way they played.
People saw that Arsenal lost to Lisbon, Barcelona lost to United, United lost to Sevilla and so forth. By that I mean people saw that there has been a lot of changes and a lot of stuff and that is why it looks like it is something normal and not shocking. I realize that it is not going to be that much of a trouble and I know that Sevilla will probably lose but after seeing so many unexpected results, I feel like people are trying to get themselves ready for anything they possibly can.

It is going to be something normal to have, and not going to change much if Juventus wins which is what we all assume, but if Sevilla wins, nobody would be shocked about it neither, that is going to be a normal situation as well. So betting on this game is a bit tough.

Everyone does assume that Juventus will be the winner because the Juventus game pattern is better. But indeed in reality during the match, Sevilla was able to compensate for Juventus well and even frustrated Juventus because in the first leg match Sevilla was able to score first. Although in the end Juventus replied to the goal in the last minute so that the match ended with a 1-1 draw.
In the second leg, the match will certainly be more exciting and Juventus will not underestimate the strength of Sevilla again. Juventus must be really wary of sevilla's fast attacks. The second leg will be scheduled on May 19, 2023 at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Field.

Imagine if this forum was taken over by AI-generated replies. This will definitely remove the interaction between persons as AIs would be the one discussing among themselves about a certain topic.

It would be the apocalypse for the forum, Bot vs Bot arguments. But AI bot arguments will also be easier to detect because it does not give a good Opinion and all are only based on existing data (not new thoughts). every definition explained is too long and cannot be to the point.
after all, why use AI bots to just comment or argue in the forum? it is only done by people who are lazy to think.
613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: May 12, 2023, 10:41:05 PM
~snip~Just as what we mostly say about gambling that it's intended to have fun and people win for sometimes but not at most times. You choose what you want to argue with and people might have that misconception about gambling and investing. Those that are not yet educated yet, gambling isn't investing because I get that a lot of time and saw people say that it has no difference.

Gambling is just a game to spend free time. But with bets made, gambling can also be a place to earn income. But that is very risky, like a slot game that only presses Spin and is just waiting for the jackpot to appear. But it won't be that easy, all gambling programs have been set in such a way, there will be some wins but there will be more losses. and Gambling also cannot be equated with investment, because there is no guarantee of winning. Gambling is still gambling and not for investment.

Tomorrow Bayern Munich can play at home against Schalke 04, which is not a difficult game on paper. Schalke has been a relegation candidate for a long time, but has managed to fight all the way to the safe zone thanks to a wonderful series of hard-fought victories. I wouldn't be surprised if Schalke will show so much mental toughness again in this match, that Bayern Munich will have a hard time. I think Schalke should start hoping for a long 0-0, so that Bayern will take unnecessary risks and then try to get out. Dortmund is not having a bad season, but the problem is that they are out of control so that will be a tough story with a few games to go.

Bayern Munich is at the top of the table and this proves Bayern Munich is a strong team. the Bayern Munich vs Schalke match will be quite an exciting match, but in terms of the game maybe Bayern Munich will be superior. Bayern Munich is top of the table with 65 points while Schalke is 15th with 30 points, certainly half a point more adrift.
Schalke as a relegation candidate must certainly be careful and must defend strongly. they must win in order not to enter the relegation zone.

Predicted line-up:

Bayern Munich: Sommer; Mazraoui, Pavard, De Ligt, Cancelo; Gravenberch, Kimmich; Coman, Musiala, Mane; Gnabry

Schalke: Schwolow; Brunner, Van den Berg, Kaminski, Matriciani; Krauss, Kral; Karaman, Zalazar, Bulter; Terodde

 hackers are increasingly breaking wallets and taking bitcoins from ordinary users of cryptocurrencies.
Of course, I want to advise you the best wallet is Trust Wallet. Its strongest advantage is open source. It turns out anyone can see how it works.
That's great!
Few wallets can boast of this. Also, a lot of reputable people recommend it.

https://trustwallet.com/ru/

There is no doubt that hackers are getting into many wallets these days.But there are also such wallets where it becomes difficult to access them.

Of course trust wallet is a good wallet but hackers often gain access to it,And I have heard many people losing their assets in this wallet to hackers.In my opinion, if a hard wallet is used instead of this wallet, the risks are much less.Hard wallet is an excellent and very secure wallet.
Your capital will be very safe in the hard wallet and it is not easy for hackers to enter here, rather it is somewhat impossible for hackers to enter.

But be careful to buy it from the official website because there is a risk of hacker attack if you buy from other online platforms.

The best wallet is a Hardwallet, and when compared to a trustwallet, of course it's better to use a hardwallet. Wallet security also depends on how the user uses his wallet. usually hackers will set up traps so that they access phishing websites and make connections so that the wallet can be hacked.
many incidents about hacking of mobile wallets like trustwallet.

There are other gambling platform that has features that they will prevent addictions like you need to activate not sure what is the exact name of it but i think it was "responsible gambling" which if when you enable it there are algorithm that will stop your best or basically forced you to stop on that day, i know there are loop holes on it but still it is a good initiative from the platforms to try to hinder the addictions of a gambler, but if you are really addicted to it you will really find ways to counter it.

A good feature for the gambler is not to become an addict. But is this feature applied to several popular gambling platforms? Gambling platforms want a lot of profit from everyone, if they use the anti-addiction feature, they will earn a little.
But despite all that, each gambling platform has its own rules and there will be a warning that gambling will carry high risks.
618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling or gaming sites on: May 11, 2023, 03:50:09 PM
Recently one of my friends told me about some gambing / gaming sites  or apps like Orion Stars, Milky Way, Fire Kirin, Gamevault, Riversweeps,   Ultra panda and few others. 
He told that these are very popular games but i told that i am not aware of these sites. I first thought that they could be gaming sites but later i find out they have gambling games and are in fact casino.

A few of the sites / App links are http://web.pandamaster.vip/game/pandamaster/ , http://web.orionstars.vip/play/orionstars/

Has anyone known and played at these sites? Do let me how was their experience and what sort of games are there ?
Are they pure gambling sites or a mixture of gambling and gaming sites ? Although you need coins to play at these sites and you can redeem the winning coins into fiat money.

Never heard of these sites and does they accept cryptocurrencies in any form of payment or deposit? If not then this thread should be moved to off topic.

Generally casinos operating under gaming licence to bypass the gambling restrictions on certain regions and let's take fantasy sports which is purely gambling but they call it as skill game and made governments to allow even when the gambling is banned or highly restricted in a country so this trick is known for bypassing restrictions.

So hide behind the game license, so that the game becomes disguised gambling. but some of these disguised gambling games usually use their own coins to be able to play them and players have to buy coins from several partners at a fairly cheap price. But somehow the policy on gambling is camouflaged with a game license. because some countries are so strict about gambling regulations.

I think considering the recent games we saw from both teams in La Liga, Atletico Bilbao can win this game and beat Villarreal. Because in the last five games they had against each other, Villarreal never won a game against Atletico Bilbao and Villarreal lost the last game they had with a 1-0 result in this season.
Villareal is a strong team right now. There's no doubt if bilbao will be losing against villareal. Villareal is still trying to defend its place to be qualified for europa league. That being said that if it will be so hard to see bilbao to beat villareal.



Bookies are favoring villareal at this moment and that's a sense thing for sure caused by villareal is far more consistent compared with bilbao. Bilbao may lose full points against villareal soon.

Villareal will be playing at home. It doesn't even make sense to pick bilbao to be a favorite club in this match.

It's easy money for people who pick villareal. The gap is quite big in the current standing. Villareal is still superior based on the current statistic in la liga.

Villareal's ability is also not in doubt. currently Villareal is still in 5th place with 54 points while Athletic Bilbao is in 8th place with 47 points. still 7 points away.
Villareal also has an experienced defender and team captain, Raul Albiol, who was able to bring Villareal to the 2022 Champions League Semifinals. Currently, Raul Albiol has extended his contract with Villareal until 2024. This will be a big strength for Villareal.

A person who takes gambling seriously will develop some type of addiction and from there will begin to plan how to make a certain amount of money from gambling, so it's important not to take gambling seriously.

It's crazy to me that I've never seen a gambling platform warn players about gambling responsibly. It's not good for business, I guess.   

I think gambling platforms have warned players to be able to gamble responsibly but many gamblers cannot do this and instead become greedy just to chase previous wins. This makes them addicted to gambling in the future because they don't make clear boundaries in gambling. We have seen many people who eventually get addicted to gambling, losing a lot of money and everything.

But if we can be responsible with gambling, we won't become addicted to gambling and won't lose much money either. We must realize that gambling is part of entertainment and nothing more.

Gambling also needs to do financial management. without doing management as you said, some gamblers will become greedy when they don't get the main win and use all their money for gambling bets. this will even harm themselves and make them even more addicted to continue gambling and want big wins.

Few of the beginners can be responsible with their gambling. just want instant wins and Jackpots that will never be obtained.
